Really great game from begging to end! The voice overs of the actual actors that played in ghostbusters before was alot of fun to hear. The characters were alot of fun to play with. The story was good! The game didnt take that long to beat! It is a great game and I had alot of fun all the way to the end!

This is an awesome game especially if you are a fan of the original movie.The Story was written by Dan Akroid and Harold Ramis, and the rest of the original actors from the first movie do the voices for all the characters.To me the story feels like a true sequel to the original movie; I really liked the inner jokes, and the overall attitude of the characters, they seem to be true to the movie.If you are not a fan of the movie, or Bill Murray, you might get frustrated during the first chapter, but if you give it a chance and push through it, you might enjoy the rest of the game, it does get better and easier with the upgrades.The controls are a little difficult to use on a couple of the fights, but they are spread apart enough to become too difficult or frustrating. Once you get past the first couple of hours and you get a good handle on the controls it is smooth for the most part.The only thing I really didn't like was that there are areas where you don't know what to do, it is not very intuitive what to do next, and you have to try a few things before one of your companions suggest something and then you have to figure out how to solve the puzzle with the vague clue that they give you.I played with a 360 control, and getting used to it took me a while before I got comfortable with the weapons and how to combine and use the buttons correctly. Overall I really liked the game, took me around 20 hours to play through it, spread out over a few weekends.The game is definitely worth the prize, if not the game just for the story and voice acting.

The thing that threw me off the most was that the character sits so far off to the side. It throws me off to the point where it's bothersome, but the story up to where i played was very fun and the NPC's are very useful. You just have to remember your playing a movie and not a game, so slow down and enjoy.

If you haven't already picked up this game and happen to be a Ghostbusters fan, do yourself a favor and get it.The script for this video game was rewritten from an old draft for Ghostbusters 3, so it's considered to be canon in the timeline of the series, and the closest we'll get to a sequel of Ghostbusters 2. Not only that, but a majority of the cast from both films returned, lending their voices while the characters resemble how they appeared in 1991. Lastly, it's one of the few very good licensed games, so that alone makes it worth the buy.

In a nutshell: Yes, this game lets you be a Ghostbuster, and yes, it's pretty damn cool. That said, the performance is atrocious. It feels like you need to have a certain graphics config, or have your computer built a certain way.

The game itself is very nice. Graphics are lacking, mostly in character models, but proton beams and ghosts are animated perfectly. As for the story, I obviously haven't beaten it within this release, but from playing it on consoles, I can confirm that it's suffecient. Maybe not a masterpiece of storytelling, but pretty good nonetheless.

Controls actually aren't a problem, they're very straight forward and easy to remember, but the game runs awfully. Like, distractingly so. To the point where it's hard to play for more than 30 minutes at a time without the right PC build or configuration. This is the major drawback of the PC release. If possible, play this game on a PS3 or Xbox 360. The expierence is quite a bit better there (If nothing else, I recommend a controller).

Overall, the game itself is great, but due to performance, it feels coated in ♥♥♥♥. Like I said, try and play the console release if possible, but if you can't and you're a big fan of the franchise, then go for this. It's certainly not impossible to enjoy on PC, and if you can tweak your settings and find a way to make it run properly, then it's even better.
